Mach SDK plugin questions and answers. / Re: XBox360 plugin new info
« on: November 19, 2015, 04:14:03 PM »
I calibrated the controller. My left joystick is rouge as heck. Will track down another controller (hopefully tonight) and let you know. It seemed weird that EVERYTHING worked as soon as I disabled the joy sticks.

I really appreciate your patience and help!

Mach3 under Vista / Programming Auto Tool Change
« on: November 19, 2015, 11:14:01 AM »
Hey everyone. I am pretty fluent in CNC Router operations. The guy who ran this machine before had removed the auto tool feed holder and had it set to the side and always did manual tool changes. To me this seems silly when the machine is capable of Auto Tool Changes.

Only problem is I have no idea how to program it or write the program to make it do this. Does anyone have a link to a How To so I can learn how to program the auto tool change on this?

I run Mach3 1024 Screen Set. I have the Auto Zero plate programmed and operational (although it is not permanent, I am willing to make it permanent if necessary) and my machine has homing switches. From what I have read so far these are the basics needed to make it possible.

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!

I looked and I don't even have a joystick.dll file. The error message says disabling thumbsticks, so it's quite specific that it's on the controller.

I ran the test and it tested just fine. All buttons work and the thumb sticks were able to test full motion.

I am not too comfortable deleting mach3 to re-install, I don't even know if I have access to the disc, or if we even have one if something were to go wrong.

I downloaded that version of the controller software (turned out to be the same one I had)

I am on an administrator account.

So all that could be left in an older version of Net Framework (like 2.0 as you said) but the IT guy has my computer today. Bum bum bum.

Did you install the Nov 2007 DirectX files per instructions provided with DLL? It will install some older files that are needed (and works with the current version 2.4 of the plugin). You download the file, extract it to a folder and then go to that folder and run DXSetup.Exe.  It will not downgrade your current DirectX level (you are likely at DX 11). It just adds some files. Your version can be checked by running DXDIAG from search box.

Here is a link : http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=317


Let me know how that goes.




Still nothing. I must be missing something!

Installed older version of plug in. Installing Microsoft Framework now. I run Windows 7 and Mach3 Version R3.043.066.

I really appreciate the help, I was super bummed when it didn't work at first lol.

Hi Lee.

I downloaded the plug in, moved it to the Mach3/plug in folder, activated in the software and I can use the A button to Reset like I opted to.

Every time I try to move the machine with the Joy Sticks it says axis drive fault then won't let me use the controller anymore until I close out and re-open.

Then it will repeat this process.

I downloaded the Distributes package and everything.

Any idea where to go from here?
